Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[sana54210]

Newcastle are at a very good level right now, judging from their standings, I think I can already show that today they can be said to be better than the opponent they will face in this Premier League continuation, Leicester City. Newcastle also has a good defense this season with only conceding 11 goals in the 15 matches they have played, in contrast to Leicester who have a relatively fragile defense.

Don't be too carried away by current position, football might not work based on who is above each other in points. Nevertheless, Newcastle has shown a strong and impressive performance this season, but the world cup break might have given Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers enough time to work on his team's formation and Strategy. Betting this period might be a bit risky.

It may not be about who is at the top, but it is certainly about who looks to be better in general. I mean look at the current situation and how we are seeing newcastle to play so well, it's not just about fatigue or anything, they have a much more talented squad and that is why they are higher.

I understand there could be upsets in football, even a championship team could beat a premier league team on FA cup time to time, it happens but that doesn't mean that Newcastle is worse, it just means football gods could be on Leicesters side for this time being. Hell, they won a whole title that became big news while being underdogs so it's of course possible but not expected.

Manchester United - Nottingham is an interesting game in terms of their head-to-head history. These two teams haven't faced each other since 1999. It is going to be a historical moment for these teams as a result.  

Historical moments? There is nothing major going on about this and Manchester United is going to win the game. Manchester United might not be in top shape currently but there is no way that they are going to lose against bottom 3 teams. Nottingham has also conceded 30 goals so far out of 15 games so thats 2 goals conceded on every game

Yes, when compared on paper, Newcastle does have a better squad than Leicester City. Judging from the rankings, of course, Newcastle has been playing better overall and looking more consistent. Indeed, sometimes football surprises the results. But it's not always like this. It will all depend on the readiness of each team at the time of the match. So that they can dream to the fullest and can use every chance to win.

Aston Villa is not a comfortable opponent for Liverpool in my opinion. Liverpool will need to be really careful against them. Because Emery has already started to make a big impact on Aston Villa.    

Aston Villa may have their big spirit and motivation to beat Liverpool. They really have it. But, I also heard that their goalkeeper still cannot join the match against Liverpool after the World Cup. This may become a problem for Aston Villa. And I am not sure that the loss of Liverpool in the Carabao Cup will still influence their condition and motivation. This should make Liverpool becomes more and more motivated to make victory in this match.

Liverpool as a club have done everything necessary to aid the winning in this year tournament, and the premiere league resumption in January after the world cup, Liverpool have set a compass to secure so of the young star seen on the field in the last world cup such as 2022.

I didn't see any sign of improvement in their preparation against the second half of the season because I know they didn't sign many player. The players remain the same bot I just feel that they need to improve and change their style of play because they are performing very poor in the start of the season. And I think they need to visit transfer market this January to add more players to their current squad.

I think the best game for the 26th December games is absolutely Leicester vs Newcastle United.I think and I believe in a win from Newcastle as they have been top performers during the last games of the league and they even beat Chelsea 1-0 if I remember correctly.The odd of over 2.2 is very inviting for me and I am going to bet on them because I don't think Leicester will be able to resist that long in a season where they have been doing pretty badly overall,so while I am sure all other people are going to bet on City and Arsenal I prefer to bet on this game.

Newcastle are at a very good level right now, judging from their standings, I think I can already show that today they can be said to be better than the opponent they will face in this Premier League continuation, Leicester City. Newcastle also has a good defense this season with only conceding 11 goals in the 15 matches they have played, in contrast to Leicester who have a relatively fragile defense.

Leicester in principle often have problems during the game, especially in defense. I've been watching them for almost 8 years and they are not constant. I mean, they can often beat the champions or basically a strong team, but often lose to the outsiders, and this season they became outsiders themselves, spending a lot of time in the relegation zone...  Fickleness is their problem, not the composition

[EdenHazard]

Potter needs a couple of more new signings. A striker is a must for their team and that is one of the things that is really missing. Too bad they didnt sign Ronaldo in this transfer window could have been the thing they only needed to continue this season well

Yes, Chelsea needs a striker who can cooperate with Aubameyang.
I heard an issue that Cheslea is trying to sign Nkunku and they already get a personal agreement. If it is true, Chelsea seems to successfully sign Nkunku because Chelsea only needs to negotiate about the transfer fees. Since Chelsea is in urgent to sign a striker, I assume Chelsea will brave to spend whatever the amount of money that Leipzig wants. About signing Ronaldo, I think it is just a rumor and Chelsea will prioritize Nkunku if they already get a personal agreement.

Nkunku deal is just the matter of time , he has say good bye to leipzig fans too and moreover chelsea have officially signed david datro fofana the 20 years old striker that came out of nowhere ... still the nkunku move to chelsea it's 100% done as per fabrizio romano , the incredible transfer reporter.

I think that agreement with chelsea already made and nkuku will be moving at the middle of next year. Nkuku may become a big deal for the chelsea striker. Let's see whether nkuku will be solving the problem in the chelsea striker position or it can do nothing like aubameyang.

Cristiano might won't have a chance to play at premier league anymore , he is enough being around manchester and hurting.

CR7 already decided if he will be playing for al nassr as there was no professional club who has been interesting with him anymore. That's sad to see that the future of CR7 but at least he will be getting the biggest salary in the world.

Yeah thought he going to join chelsea this january as we need urgently attacking player .. too bad nkunku will only join at the next summer window , hoping he won't flop not this time .. too much transfer fails for chelsea and bunch of them might be on sale next year .

The prem is back by the way and brentford vs tottenham is the first one to play , won't be easy for sure for tottenham.

[SatoPrincess]

In my own opinion Chelsea only needed a good striker for their team, if they can sign Ronaldo that will be a better addition to complement Abumeyang and Broja in their attack the attack to score more goals, meanwhile in the absence of injured Kante in the midfield players like of Kovacic, Conor Gallagher, Zakaria, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mason Mount and host of few others didn't do badly and infeed performed well, recall when Graham Potter was new appointed as their new manager they had a steaks of wins consistently without Kante helped by who was Kepa very brilliant at goal, they should sign Ronaldo In a matter urgency doing so will absolutely up their game and remain consistent in their subsequent matches.

Chelsea have players who already play in that position, players like Aubameyang, Broja and sometimes Kai Havertz who has been played as a false nine on several occasions for Chelsea. Chelsea have a weak attack judging from their goal stats in the past 5 games before the break. Talking about the midfield, they have quite a number of midfield options so they don't have much problem in the midfield, the main problem is the attack that needs improvement.

Liverpool played vs City recently and lost although they tried to be competitive. Their transfer market this winter doesn't seem to be promising although they are lacking players. Until now I see talks about Enzo Fernandez and Bennacer but with Thiago in the team, such expensive deals aren't that urgent nor important..

They have not faced Man United for that long about how many years now
Lingard will be facing his boyhood club and that will be historic
Man United are people's pick to win but I don't want them to disappoint too

I think Liverpool will be the most active team in the upcoming transfer market they need new players to stay on track although not for the title but at least in the champions league zone it was so surprising when we saw them fighting for the title last season, but this season is out of the top 4 Liverpool seemed to have lost something important.

I wouldnt be so confident about Manchester United winning with ease the way you are saying it. Football is sometimes tricky and with all what i have so far Manchester United have been struggling to win games and no time is a bad time to write a history in football. Nottingham forest can shock Manchester United with a surprise win and start their second half of the season with a good spirit. The two have not faced each other for a long time now so who knows what's going to happen. The stats for Nottingham forest is really bad and they really need to step up their game and who knows if they can start with Man United,  we all saw the shocking Victory of the Saudi Arabians over Argentina so its very possible for Nottingham forest to win that game.

[Velvet78]

The only historical part of Manchester United's game against Nottingham is that they are playing against each other for the first time in 23 years. But no more than that indeed.

Because there is a significant gap between these teams at the moment. Maybe Nottingham defeated Liverpool but it was due to Liverpool's incapabilities. We all saw how Arsenal destroyed Nottingham as well. As long as Manchester United return strong and play focusedly there is no way they are losing points here. I expect them to be in full control from the beginning of the game.

Liverpool are not rich like Manchester City and they must play well, win trophies to get income and use it as budget for transfers. In this season, they will not achieve too good results that affect their income source for next transfer markets.

They already bought some star players in past two seasons like Luiz Diaz, Darwin Nunez and it is their preparations. They already prepared more by giving their young players chance to play and grow up. Some of their young players have been grown too good last few years and with them, Liverpool will not need to spend too big budget for transfers.

Liverpool has been doing the best thing to win the match but city is far better compared with liverpool and i see nothing wrong with it. Liverpool wants try to buy some players and i saw that the player like gvardiol may make the liverpool even stronger. Enzo fernandez was an over rated player with non sense price at this moment. benfica was offering him him without even use its sense. Liverpool can get a better player rather than enzo fernandez with big amounts of money.

Based on the news Liverpool is the team most interested in Enzo Fernandez moreover they have a good relationship with Berfica
Besides that, Liverpool need this young player to anticipate Moh Salah who is getting older I mean in the near future he will definitely retire
So there is nothing wrong if Liverpool prepare a replacement while establishing cohesiveness with each other.

First time in the first half to see Jamie Vardy not scoring
He finally did against the club last week or on Wednesday thru played
He will still be back scoring and better, Vadry looks old but his ort

Mu is far stronger than MU in the early season. I see nottingham will become a threat for MU. The result from carabao cup has been making me even more confidence with it. I meant let's take a look at how MU was dominating burnley in carabao cup. I see that the same thing may happen once MU will be facing nottingham. Nottingham needs a luck to be able to defeat MU. Liverpool has become an inconsistent team at this moment. I can say that caused by judging from the performance of liverpool compared with last season.
Liverpool is in the different form compared with liverpool in the last season. Rashford will become a key for MU to win against nottingham forest easily.

I wouldn't say Manchester United is currently stronger than the early season, but they will win against Nottingham Forrest because the match will happen on Old Trafford, so it will boost Manchester United's players confident. Nottingham Forrest currently in degradation zone, so that's why many people underestimate them. Liverpool is quite consistent, as you can see their performance on Champions League is good even though their opponents are good clubs too.

I believe Liverpool will comeback in their prime performance sooner or later.

I think, Manchester united are well prepared to defeat Nottingham 2-1. Manchester united has  potential squads that can make it happen in this match because the unite to work together as a team has been activated after the FIFA world cup competition which they will definitely display their new skills. Despite, Nottingham has good defenders in this season, it will be difficult for them to stop Manchester united not to achieve victory from this match, because there are so many things that changed positively in Manchester united which is part some of the advantage they will use to defeat Nottingham.

Manchester United - Nottingham is an interesting game in terms of their head-to-head history. These two teams haven't faced each other since 1999. It is going to be a historical moment for these teams as a result.  

I don't think it's going to be a big historical moment, unless Nottingham are one of the teams that can give competition to the other teams in the top four or they are still on course to Champions.
Nottingham is in the relegation zone, while Manchester United are struggling to get into the top four. This match will be won easily by Manchester United even though these two teams have not faced each other since 1999 because their quality is very much different.
